I agree, Corky_O! I've enjoyed learning from every part of this series - at least all that I've been capable of. And it will take me longer to learn everything, but I've got quite a few basics down, thanks to Paul! This has been quite an informative series, to say the least, and yet I'm still looking forward to the next ten. I believe the mesh tool (and sculpting with it) has been the greatest tool I've learned about. Invaluable lessons from an invalua

Vector graphics. They are not pixilated. Try CorelDRAW Suite 12. There's a 30 day free trial you can download online to see if you like it. http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Home

Reply to PC milestone--notebooks outsell desktops in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have two destops, one a PC, the other a Mac, but I spend most of my time with my laptop (a Dell). It's the convenience of transportability. I believe the fact that wireless systems are setup in many companies, universities, airports, and now even restaurants, makes the laptop the most appealing electronic component on the face of the earth.

Reply to New blood for skinning in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I agree with DoctorNick. There are alot of very young teenagers just staring out on this site. Many of them show great potential. I believe every art media have moments of lag time in creativity... the movies, music (especially music- I believe we are in the biggest creative quagmire ever experienced in the music industry!), etc... This (skinning) is the newest type of media on the planet in artistic aspects. Patience. We need just a little m

I downloaded for free the Maya 6.0 Personal Learning Edition. I know it doesn't have all the options of the main program, but I think it allows you to basically go through the processes and save your work. I have tried doing a couple of icons with it but got too frustrated and haven't gone back. Yet!

Frustrating, indeed! They sure know how to suck you in for the kill, don't they? I have a feeling Finale would say that you can perform all of the programs features except for saving! I just bought the program because I knew I'd use it, but I can get it at an educator's price (I'm a teacher). I don't know of other free programs that allow you to do all that Finale does. It might be something you'll have to consider investing in eventually!

Finale is a great program. Finale Notepad is a great place to start. I have Finale Guitar and I've never regretted purchasing it. In this version, and most likely in the more sophisticated versions, I am able to take a piece of sheet music, scan it, import it into Finale, and through a program called "lite step" it transposes the music into whatever key I want, and then plays the piece back! It's absoltely an incredible program! Might be in your son's
